Job Details



The role of the Business Development Executives (BDEs) is to maximise availability, visibility and ROS to targeted On Trade customers for the Sheffield Region.

Client Details



The UK on trade wines and spirits market is a well-developed, competitive environment with a number of large competitors selling to well developed on trade segments. The on trade is a complex channel with a number of sub channels (National wholesaler, multiple pub operators, independent bars, regional brewers). The channel is an important contributor to the profit of our client in the UK but it also plays a vital role in building the equity of our brands with consumers.

Although opportunities exist in all segments of the On-trade, the calls will be predominantly from the Premium sector in alignment with our brand portfolio. On average a BDE makes 9 planned calls per day and has an account base of approximately 235 outlets.

Key Deliverable:
  • Gain new listings and increase distribution
  • Gain house pour status in major categories (vodka, gin, rum, champagne)
